Lille and Sevilla FC in talks over Tanguy Nianzou transfer | OneFootball

Lille OSC are reportedly interested in signing Sevilla FC’s Tanguy Nianzou (24), according to Foot Mercato. Talks between the two clubs are said to have already begun and are progressing rapidly.

Facing significant financial difficulties, the Andalusian club would welcome the opportunity to reduce its wage bill by parting ways with the centre-back, whose contract runs until 2027. As such, Sevilla’s management are reportedly not being overly demanding regarding the transfer fee for the Paris-born player.

Having come through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain, Nianzou decided to join Bayern Munich in the summer of 2020, following the expiry of his contract. However, things did not go as planned in Germany, where he suffered numerous injuries and made just 28 appearances (one goal, one assist), before joining Sevilla two years later.

His spell in Spain was also marked by several setbacks, due to a lack of full fitness that he never fully regained, resulting in the French defender making just 62 appearances over four seasons.
